About you
Our passengers expect good service and punctual tram traffic, which means that as a driver you need to have good patience and a good ability to handle stress even when traffic doesn't flow as it should. In your role as a tram driver, you also need to be comfortable working independently over the tram and passengers.

It is also a requirement that you read, understand, and speak good Swedish.
Qualifications

It is advantageous if you have:
• Driving experience in city traffic, preferably from professional transportation
• Documented work experience
• Experience from service work or customer-related work
• Knowledge of Gothenburg's tram network routes
• Knowledge of languages other than Swedish

• Ten weeks of paid training
• Secure employment
• Hundreds of nice colleagues
• See all of Gothenburg from your workplace
• A future profession that contributes to sustainable development
• Wellness allowance
• 30 paid vacation days

If you advance in the process, we will request certificates and documentation that can support your CV and your questionnaire answers. Great emphasis will also be placed on personal suitability based on the requirements for security services, such as tram driver.
To be offered a place in the training, you need to participate and pass all elements of the recruitment process. This includes an information meeting, interviews, work psychological tests, visits to the tram depot, reference checks, health examination, and drug test. We have several training starts that we continuously recruit for, so a job offer may be made before the final application deadline. We are currently recruiting for training start in October.
In this advertisement, we are only recruiting full-time positions. Trial employment applies.
During training, you will be employed on a fixed-term basis with a salary of 32,127 kr/month.
